Long time lurker on these boards and have just upgraded to a new 2.4 mbp with the high res option. I'm gonna stick 8gbs of ram and a crucial m4 plus optibay in tomorrow.. Super mac

Just a quick a question with regards to setup.. Is there much I need to setup or calibrate? I.e. battery, firmware updates or recommend steps to get the best performance out of this machine? Im going to cherry pick my music and apps for djing/music performance from my 2008 mbp so migration assistant isnt needed... Anything to watch out for?

Im completely new to Lion and would be grateful of any advice to get a similar-to-snow-leopard setup.. Ie home folder? Where is it? Haha..

I've searched and found some useful posts but anything anyone could add would be great!

I just got a new MBP and it's my first Lion experience. Mostly it's exactly the same as before with some added silly stuff and some really great new gestures for the trackpad.

Main tip I have is to go through all the preferences. Finder preference especially... it hides the hard drive on the desktop by default. I guess Apple doesn't want people thinking they're using computers any more. Launch Pad is really silly in both form and function but totally optional and you never have to use it.
